María Laura Lafuente Found Dead in Coronda River

Prosecutors are treating the case as a suspicious death.

Overview

  • The 33-year-old's body, recovered Thursday in the Coronda River near the Carancho Triste area, ended a search that began Monday.
  • Belongings found on the bank Wednesday, including a phone, a backpack and medication blisters, shifted the operation to the water.
  • Security video showed her buying cigarettes and walking near Rivadavia and San Martín, then a tree blocked the next camera view and her trail was lost.
  • Local fishermen, drawing on knowledge of currents and weed-choked shallows, worked with Prefectura and divers and found the body near where the items turned up.
  • Investigators ordered an autopsy under a suspicious-death classification, and no cause of death or criminal attribution has been released.
